SUNY Potsdam Bears- Huge Commitment Cycle -
by nwgocats on June 2nd, 2024
SUNY Potsdam, led by Head Coach Shane Banks, have put together a huge recruiting cycle so far, one that looks to help the team rebuild from an underwhelming season so far, their first in D2. They have brought in 3-star high school guards Joel Barclay and Darnel Hennessy, and have added to that by landing the highest-ranked recruit in recent program history and the #1 ranked JUCO prospect, 4-star Scotty Sanderson. This is great news, and even better is that the Bears are nowhere near done with recruiting this year. Big things are coming in the next few years.

First Press Release- New President at SUNY Potsdam -
by nwgocats on February 5th, 2024
This is my first press release with this program, and I intend on making SUNY Potsdam a dominant program in college basketball. We are a perimeter focused program, and value the three pointer highly, playing fast-paced and high-energy basketball. I reworked our rotation and coaches to fit this, and am determined to be successful.
